For today's still life, I found a magenta colored material that I wanted to use for a background. Since there is not really a way to upstage a color that strong I just let it be dominant and use the foreground elements to break up the space. I couldn't mix that color with my current palette because there is no chance of reaching that magenta chroma at that high a value by mixing Alizarin and Ultramarine, so I brought in a pinch hitter: a ringer named thalo violet. It's mighty powerful like all the other crazy-ass thalo kids. Can't upstage thalo magenta.

It is amazing to me how you can put such intense together and still make it look so fine. I am going to have to get me some of that thalo violet. I too love the punch of the thalos.
Thanks Kris and Nora!
You're Welcome Caroled. Thanks for visiting. Let me know if I can answer any question or anything. :)
Alice, Thanks and yes, I agree, thalos are too power not to try and wield!
I am totally digging your intense colours!
